Notes: This is a fun platformer, as it gives you ample opportunity to refill health... right up until the gauntlet of the final castle, that is. Then it gets tough. The bosses are pretty easy, and the special attacks have good variety, so it has some decent replayability. This capture was the second time I had actually finished the game, and the first time I got a complete recording without the capture card freezing. I screwed up on the dragons, so I didn't have enough health to take a couple of hits from the final boss. The weirdest thing about this game is that when you get an "extra life," either through gems or in the bonus games, you're actually gaining a "continue." When you die and continue, all that you lose are your gems and your special attack counter, which is the same as losing "a life" in other games. In that respect, you could traditionally call this a no continue run, but technically, it wasn't. Cheers! :)
